Lift the Blockade on Lebanon

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has refused calls by Kofi Annan for a fast end to Israel's seven-week blockade of Lebanon. The blockade which whilst I understand is slightly humiliating for any Arab who can see the ships anchored 2 miles of the coast is in place to prevent Syrian re-armament.

I would back Kofi's calls had he had the strength to make good on even a single promise to bolster and deploy a UN force able to take care of at least preventing shipments of new arms to the Hizbullah, let alone disarming them.

So Mr Anan, this one's for you. Get your own house in order, stop deceiving the world and make good on your commitments. Then call on Israel to back off from defending her rights to existence.. let alone a peaceful one !

Comments anyone ??
